Padres gradually trusting Luis Campusano behind the dish
The San Diego Padres’ offense has been very potent to begin the 2026 season. One of the early contributors has been Luis Campusano. He is off to a hot start because Campusano finally feels free from the pressure of fulfilling others’ expectations It has allowed him to play carefree baseball. Stammen’s belief never wavered Padres […]
Some bright spots among a lot of losses

With homestand sweep complete, Padres face burgeoning Halos ace
After going 2-4 in the Opening Week homestand, the San Diego Padres have now improved their record at Petco Park to 9-4 with a perfect 7-0 homestand. The Friars cannot seem to lose.

San Diego finds a way, walks off Seattle on Merrill Madness
Something strange has been going on in San Diego lately… the Padres can’t seem to lose. After being behind by six runs as late as the sixth inning (and getting no-hit for most of Emerson Hancock’s start), the Friars rallied with a five-run ninth inning. Down three runs with two outs, the Friars hit back-to-back […]

Jackson Merrill started the game with a home run robbery of Seattle Mariners center fielder Julio Rodriguez in the top of the third inning.

With win streak now at six games, Padres’ offense keeps rolling
The San Diego Padres continued their recent stretch of success by winning their MLB-leading sixth straight game, taking the series opener from the Seattle Mariners.

Nick Pivetta’s elbow stiffness adds to Padres SP woes
The San Diego Padres are on a roll, as they have won nine of their last 11 games. They sit comfortably in second place in the National League West. But the momentum may turn for the worse after Nick Pivetta left his last start with right elbow stiffness. The injury has forced the Padres to […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres keep winning; Nick Pivetta lands on IL
The San Diego Padres improved to 11-6 on the season with their sixth consecutive win last night.

San Diego continues winning streak with 4-1 win over Seattle
No one expected a high scoring game when the San Diego Padres hosted the Seattle Mariners for the first game of a three-game series at Petco Park on Thursday.

Nick Pivetta on IL; Alek Jacob, Matt Waldron called up
The San Diego Padres officially announced that starter Nick Pivetta, who suffered an injury while pitching on Sunday, is being placed on the 15-day injured list. It will be retroactive to April 13.

Mason Miller is breaking baseball
Before the start of the 2026 season the San Diego Padres were projected to win 79-80 games by FanGraphs and PECOTA. The assumption was the bench was not deep or talented enough, the starting pitching was not deep or talented enough and the bullpen wouldn’t be as good with the departure of closer Robert Suarez. […]

San Diego rockets to 10 wins, now faces challenge in Seattle pitching staff
The San Diego Padres have had quite the turnaround in the last week. After opening the season with a middling 5-5 record, they’ve gone 5-1 in the six games since, making them the second club to reach 10 wins (behind only the rivals up the freeway). That turnaround was capped off by a four-game sweep […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres bullpen has room to improve as season progresses
The San Diego Padres bullpen was expected to be the strength of the team coming into the 2026 season, the first season under new manager and former Padres reliever Craig Stammen. The San Diego bullpen has been good, but it has not been the shutdown game-determining juggernaut the Friar Faithful expected. In fact, one of […]
Good Morning San Diego: Padres break out brooms, may still take loss

Padres on four-game win streak, sights on series sweep
The San Diego Padres put an end to their recent walk-off shenanigans with a 9-5 come-from-behind victory over the Colorado Rockies Saturday night.

Padres continue magical 2026 bounce back with back-to-back walk-offs
One walk-off was something. Two consecutive walk-off moonshots is something else entirely. Gavin Sheets was the hero of last night’s game after belting a three-run dinger about as deep as the Friar Faithful have seen a ball go in Petco Park. The crazy part: it wasn’t even his first homer of the game. Luis Campusano […]
